Is it allowed to take Estriol (Topical Use) during lactation?
Is it safe for a nursing mother and a child?

Estrogenic drug for topical use with trophic effect on vaginal mucosa. While breastfeeding, non-hormonal lubricants (cream, jelly or ovules) are preferred agents for treatment of vaginal dryness due to hypo-estrogenic stimulation than those estrogenic-containing topical agents since their long lasting use may lowers breast-milk production.

this is the only treatment that I have been able to use for my menopause symptoms and get relief. the chemical forms of this do not work for me and have caused me more problems. With this in the cream form I am not able to be intimate with my husband and nothing else out there has worked. The capsule form along with progest has enabled me to be "normal" no sweats no hot flases just like I was Before menopause
